Coronavirus (sports edition) thread

I'm sure this won't happen, but next year the league should mandate the vaccine and just not test anymore. Anyone who refuses to get vaccinated is out for the year.

I could not agree more.

many may not agree w/ me but enough w/ all this testing and making players sit out if positive. do they sit people that have the flu?

Speaking of that, maybe we should mandate the flu shot too while we're at it.

Im not for mandates but they need to get better at this shit

Heinicke added to the covid list this morning. Team is signing Garrett Gilbert off the Pats practice squad. He's the likely starter on Sunday.

How many QBs will that be since Theismann left?

Yup if you test positive and you are vaccinated and asymptomatic than have at it.

The only other option is a vaccine mandate. It is also the more fair option. Most players are vaccinated and should not be subject to any of this. They happen to catch it and become symptomatic than they play when they are physically able like any other ailment.

This here aint working though. Cannot let the unvaccinated dictate the numbers. The end game of all the covid rules is for players not to become gravely ill or die , it isn’t a punishment for catching it. So take the unvaccinated out of the equation and there is nothing to worry about.

We can have 95 percent of players playing or 50 percent with this garbage.

The vac does not stop you from getting or giving covid. The number don't lie. The onl thing the vac does is protect the individuals health and that should be their choice.

Just not true and the numbers show the exact opposite.


The numbers show it helps to keep people asymptomatic. And when you are asymptomatic you are not coughing, sneezing, etc. In other words it helps prevent the spread.

It also does lower your chance of getting it and giving it. Here is a good article with a shitload of statistics.

If you are going to say otherwise and that the numbers do not lie I would like to see your sources.

Well aware of that. It is 470 people. Mass is a heavily vaccinated state, so it is not like unvaxxed people were spared - just that any group of 500 people will be mostly vaccinated in Mass. I will say the jj shot is less effective, not sure what they had. I am sure you will not find many cases like this.

Hey man there are exceptions to every rule, flip-sides to every coin, and no vaccinations are full proof, BUT, forgetting these 500 people- there are hundreds of millions throughout the world that show the exact opposite. It is just a numbers game. The overall and ongoing studies and numbers show a vastly different story than this incident in Mass does.

Also this was back in june or july I believe which is why they now recommend the booster. Which im sure would have reduced that number by quite a bit.
